What the TX Liteart 9 x 12 Hardcover Sketchbook is

The TX Liteart 9 x 12 Hardcover Sketchbook holds 110 sheets, or 220 pages, of 120gsm acid-free paper inside a rigid hardbound cover. At 9 x 12 inches it is about the size of a laptop.

The sewn binding lets pages lie flat as you draw, and you can still remove sheets to display them while the book stays intact. TX Liteart says the thick, smooth paper prevents ink bleed-through and handles pencil, charcoal, markers, dry media and light mixed media.
